Stories should be between 3500 and 5000 words. That word count is STRICTLY ENFORCED. At this time, there will be no serializations unless requested by the editor.The next reading period is:May 1 to May 10, 2018

Pulp Modern will compensate writers a flat rate of ten dollars per story (I understand this isn't a professional rate and I apologize. Right now, this money comes from my pocket and my pocket just isn't that deep).

Pulp Modern claims the following publication rights: First English-language Rights, English-language Periodical Rights, World Periodical Rights, and Electronic Distribution Rights. All rights will revert back to the writer six months after initial publication.Should Pulp Modern choose to create an anthology of previously published work, new rights will be negotiated.

Pulp Modern will NOT CONSIDER simultaneous submissions.Also, do not send multiple submissions at the same time.***Please wait three to four weeks after receiving a rejection notice before sending more work.***

Pulp Modern will not publish reprints unless they are requested by the editor.

Please write “fiction submission” and the title of the story in the subject line.

Include a cover letter in the body of the email as well as a brief biography.
